Scissors Stencil

Scissors Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

A picture is worth a thousand words, or so the saying goes. And of course, everyone needs to know where the scissors are. After all, scissors are almost as versatile as a multi-tool and almost as versatile as our awesome Scissors stencil. That's right, we have a stencil that is dedicated to scissors and you can use it in so many ways, you might just be surprised. Need signage to indicate where the scissors are stored in your classroom, a community center, or your place of work? You can make one. Want to create stencil art in the hallway of an art school or other type of school or facility? Use our largest stencil size to do that, along with other stencils, such as our Pencil Craft stencil. What else can you do? Make scissors flashcards, paint it in the window of a barber shop or hairdresser, or make fun stencil art you can hang in your child's room or your classroom. See how many things you can do with an image of scissors? All you need to do to make the magic happen is get the correct paint for the medium and the right stencil size for the project you have chosen. We laser cut the Scissors stencil in the following sizes: 5” x 6” 5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” But you don't actually need to use scissors for this DIY craft. You simply need to secure the stencil to the desired surface and paint using a brush, roller, or spray. Then wash the stencil and you can tuck it away for another day.

Here are some advantages of using Mylar stencil material:

• FLEXIBLE: Mylar can wrap around cylinders and uneven or irregular surfaces, and can be rolled for shipping and storage.
• EASY TO CLEAN: Our Mylar is solvent proof, so cleaning up paint or ink is quick and simple.
• REUSABLE: Our stencils are built to withstand normal painting wear and tear, and keeping your stencil template clean is the best way to ensure a longer life.
• DURABLE: Mylar sheets are reputably the strongest type of stencil material, and maintains durability without compromising the pliable structure.

WHY DO WE RECOMMEND MYLAR?

As mentioned before, the best way to achieve a perfectly painted stencil with a very nice paint edge is to use a stencil material that is as thin as possible for your project. At the same time, you also want a material that wont absorb paint or any liquid because this will cause the stencil to deteriorate. A stencil made from paper, cardstock or paperboard will become saturated with paint or ink rather quickly, and this causes a crusty, uneven edge that can never be removed.

Another option for stencils, and one that quickly comes to mind when we discuss durability, is metal stencils. While these thick, unbendable stencils do have their place for some industrial applications where paint overspray and running doesnt quite matter as much, they can be very expensive and heavy to ship.

There are some other plastics that are used for stencil manufacturing, but these are typically cut with a die cutter so there is a limited amount of detail that can be achieved. And because this older, traditional process takes so much work and expense to set up for each stencil design, the minimum are often in the 1000s.
